Looks to me as if Tamiya Gunmetal would be closer than any Alclad paint.

Alclads are mostly NMF and are meant to look like real metal, not decorative metallic paints.

If you can find a paint code for the color used on the Eleanor car, Hiroboy can probably mix you up the exact color (but YOU need to provide the color code)

There have been soem very good Eleanor builds here on AF. Searching the WIP and Completed sections should bring them up. Maybe there are some useful color guides in them.
